You're correct, we don't have this. Because you can extend IntelliSense in 7.0, I'm certain that you could extend it to do this. Anyway, I'll pass it on as feedback.

Interesting, I believe that there's a bug with this one. If you do
LOCAL rs AS ADODB.RECORDSET

rs.CursorLocation =

you should get a dropdown list of the predefined constants and the number for VFP. I will report the one about the command object and see what's happening there.

I understand that this could be nice. The issue is here that in a PRG we haven't opened a table so we really cannot do this. The PRG is not live when we do an USE command. You can also do expressions, so this would be too complicated to deal with in the PRG situation.


Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I believe though that, beside your first point, our IntelliSense is pretty complete and the fact that it is completely extensible makes it 1 step above other products that I've worked on. You should take a close look at the extensibility mechanisms of IntelliSense and party on it.
